andyfr1968 772 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) I don't know about that but if anything's got some value, there's always going to be some fecker who'll nick it... Edited August 22, 2010 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarraghsGem 92 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) bit on the big side to be robbing it un-noticed, theres more valuable stuff in a farmyard or stables, ie powertools or saddles or certain farmyard equipment etc could name them but dont want to give any would-be thieves any ideas hay + straw aint gonna put much grub on your table.

trapperman 474 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 the farmer i get my hay off said it will run short before the winters out, because of the dry weather we had people were feeding hay as soon as it was cut because the grass stopped growing (i had to give a little to my few sheep plus extra concentrate). so it will probs rocket in price its £5 a bale here already i`m sure if the buggers have got a big enough vehicle and a buyer they will be nicking it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

antg 1,784 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 there will be a shortage of hay this year due to bad crop. the lads with horses will be paying through the nose for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
herdwick 52 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Already £7 a bale in some parts. Its going to be in very short supply in the south. Anyone with hay left over from last year should be able to ask their own price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
